Ola Electric, the electric vehicle (EV) company led by Bhavish Aggarwal, has announced plans to lay off at least 500 employees as part of a significant restructuring initiative aimed at improving operational efficiency and addressing mounting losses. The company, which has faced controversies, including a government probe and consumer complaints, is making the move to cut redundancies and streamline its workforce in an effort to drive profitability.

Ola Electric, India’s leading electric scooter manufacturer, is facing an investigation by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) over allegations of deficient services and product quality. The probe, initiated by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), follows a surge of over 10,000 complaints lodged on the National Consumer Helpline, primarily regarding the company's after-sales services and repair delays

In a surprising turn of events, comedian Kunal Kamra has accepted Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal's offer to join the company, albeit with several conditions aimed at addressing the ongoing service issues plaguing Ola's electric scooters. This latest development follows a heated exchange between the two, sparked by Kamra's criticism of the company's after-sales service.

In contrast to Ola's Bhavish Aggarwal, Nothing CEO Carl Pei receives praise for addressing customer feedback.

An Ola scooter was engulfed in flames outside the company's showroom in Bengaluru, igniting a wave of social media commentary and trolling. The incident occurred in the BTM Layout area, near Jayadev Hospital, and was captured on video, which quickly went viral after being shared by Congress spokesperson Lavanya Ballal Jain on the platform X (formerly Twitter).
